I don't share this video because I agree with it. I share it because I want to expose you to a steelman of the conservative worldview. It's important that you listen to and understand the strongest articulations of your opponent's worldview so that you know how their paradigm works. If you only listen to conservatives via progressive media, you will not get a proper understanding of the conservative worldview because progressives in fact do not have enough perspective to actually understand conservatives. Understanding the conservative mind requires some serious mental flexibility if you are a progressive.

Actually, the nature of reality is more fucked up than that! Reality is made out of whatever you imagine it to be. If you imagine hard enough that your couch is made of densely packed Hitlers, so it will be for you. Try it next time you're tripping balls. If you dare ;)
To realize this is the very core of absolute relativity. Very important insight.
